Say we have a group G, and some subgroup H. The number of cosets of H in G is called the index of H in G. This is written [G:H].

If G and H are finite, [G:H] is just |G|/|H|.

What if they are infinite? Here is an example. Let G be the integers under addition. Let H be the even integers under addition, a subgroup. The cosets of H in G are H and H+1. H+1 is the set of all even integers + 1, so the set of all odd integers. Here we have partitioned the integers into two cosets, even and odd integers. So [G:H] is 2.

Dominance index is a measure used to assess the relative importance or popularity of different elements within a set. It helps to identify which elements are more prevalent or influential compared to others. Dominance index can be calculated for various data sets to provide insights into the distribution of resources or attention.
